If there were such a restriction then our own code wouldn't work at all, because we call it every time through xml_parse() or xpath(). > Even if this were fixed, however, I'm still not convinced that we'll be > able to call libxml2 from perl after we've installed our memory handler > (xml_palloc). Yeah, I'm wondering about that too. It certainly wouldn't have the behavior that perl is expecting. We could possibly use xmlMemGet() to fetch the prior settings and then restore them after we are done, but making sure that happens after an error would be a bit tricky. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
